SCREEN-DOOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 245,069, dated August 2, 1881.

Application filed January 31, 1881. (No model.)

. 1b all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD HUEBNER, J r., of Detroit, Wayne county, Michigan, have in vented an Improvement in Screen-Doors, of which the following is a specification.

The nature of this invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in the construction of screen-doors; and the invention consists in the peculiar mode of constructing the frames and parts of doors or windows for receiving screens, as more fully hereinafterset forth.

Figure 1 is an elevation with the moldings of one panel removed. Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-section. I

In the drawings which form a part of this specification, Arepresents the stiles of adoor,

' B the rails, and G the wire-screen panels, which are secured in place as hereinafter set forth.

In forming the stiles and rail I first pass the stick throu gh aproper machine, which sticks upon one edge the molding a, and after this is done the stick is presented to a proper machine, which saws out such molding, the shoulder b thereby being left, and in which is then cut the'channel c in such shoulder. After the stiles and rails have been thus formed they are put together in the desired form of a door. The wire-cloth is then put in place, the edges being turned down into the channels 0, after which a strip, d, is inserted and glued or othwise secured in place, filling the channel flush with the shoulder. The moldingais then put 'in place and secured by brads.

By this construction I produce a screen-door which is neat in appearance, all the rough work being hid by the molding.

It is evident -that this construction can be advantageously adapted in the manufacture of window-screens.

What I claim as my invention is The mode herein described of constructing door or window frames for receiving netting, consisting in sticking the stiles and rails to produce upon one edge a molding, a, which is then removed to leave a shoulder, b, in which a channel is cut for receiving the edge of the netting and the fastening-strips, the molding, removed as described, being used to cover the fastening-strip, substantially as specified.
